“Meditation is the process of learning to meet your thoughts and feelings with interest and kindness rather than fear and self-judgment.”

Jon Kabat Zinn

Simplified Meaning:

Meditation helps you get to know your thoughts and feelings without being scared or harsh on yourself. Imagine you're meeting a new person. Instead of judging them right away, you listen to what they have to say, showing interest and kindness. Similarly, in meditation, you observe your own mind with a gentle attitude. For example, if you remember something embarrassing, instead of feeling bad, you just notice it without letting it upset you. This way, meditation teaches you to be more patient and understanding with yourself. By practicing this, you can handle stress and emotions better in everyday life.
